    yep. its the quality (or percieved quality) + the size that will determine the price. Sean O'Connell out by cross barry is good on price.

    Think I paid 65 euro a tyre at Rathcormac tyres for a toyota corolla. They are Semperit branded. If I recall correctly Dessies quoted a bit more expensive

    Yeah we really need size of the tyre tbh

    If it's a 15/16" wheel it's an average enough price.
    If it's an 18" wheel it's a great price :P

    I personally have 225/40/18 tyres on my motor.
    Premium brands cost from 165 to over 200 a tyre

    I get mine in fastfit Togher, decent outfit and will do you a good deal.
    I've found them to be the cheapest around Cork.

    @Dercola I've edited your post to remove parts that could be legally dodgy.
    It's fine to suggest that people stay away from a business but you can't make unsubstantiated allegations.

    There's a lad up in Ellis yard who seems to be well priced. I just have run of the mill roadstone tyres but he gave me a good price on them.
